I layered it over a shimmery baby blue but I'm still not too impressed
It's annoying that it just doesn't look good by itself isn't it? The baby blue I used is a strong block colour, it's the only combination I've tried where the Indian Ocean looked good. I was quite disappointed with the Beetlejuice collection.
I had a few ££s left using an Amazon gift certificate so I bought some Technic polishes.
I bought Carnival and Mermaid. They're both gorgeous. Carnival is supposed to be a dupe of one of the Muppets OPI collection -it's multicoloured glitter. Mermaid is blue holographic glitter (the picture on Amazon doesn't do it justice at all).
Just attempted Model's Own "Indian Ocean" - very disappointing on its own, one to layer definitely! Any ideas or suggestions of colours to layer it over? I don't want to lose the colour so I'm guessing a very pale blue perhaps?
I wore it on a very pale silvery blue and it looked amazing.

I wore it over Models Own's Utopia (which is like a light grey sort of colour) and I thought it looked really nice.
Not posted on here for a while but finally cracked and got some new polishes. I have been on major tight budget recently so nail polishes have been on the back burner but had a little spare cash so had a little splurge.
My budget buy was a Lavel Shimmery Pink called Misty Ice from the local Market which was only 99p.
My splurge was TK Maxx with 2 three piece Nail Inc sets both were crackle sets so I have 6 new crackles I managed to get some of the Glitter Crackles and now have
The West End which is the Turquoise Glitter Crackle
The City which is the Pink Glitter Crackle
Hackney which is a SIlver Glitter Crackle
I also got some normal crackles as well
Hoxton Purple Crackle
Brixton Red Crackle
The East End which I think is a Deep Blue Crackle
I did have a look at some of the Essies in Tx Maxx but the colours weren't really that nice and I don't really want to buy three of the same colour. Also had a look at the Barielles as well and might invest in some when I have a bit more spare cash or maybe the Barry M Gellys haven't quite decided yet.
I don;t know if other M&S shops are doing this but, my local one has had a major refurb and has introduced a huge beauty dept. It now stocks high end name brands of skin care and make up as well as a large selection of autograph.
I bought a Leighton Denny polish in there yesterday- Drama Queen, which I am about to try out!
Oh and, my lovely sister picked me up a massive selection of the LA Colors Art Deco nail art bottles, all the glitter ones, while she was on holiday in America!
Awesome blog there! Welcome to the blogging world :P
Sadly I've had no internet since my last post...for some reason NO browser would open, so there was nothing I could do at all (uni don't take kindly to sitting there with pictures of nail polish in the library =[ )
HOWEVER Its back after factory resetting my laptop, so I'll finally be able to get back to it
Bought 6 glitters the other day...
I bought seven polishes today. And also one of those nail constellation things by MUA. I don't know if I'll ever use it but it's my star sign and I own one now should I ever feel like trying that type of manicure out.
Oh Dear so much for being good have ended up caving and ordering the Nails Inc TSV that said I have got it on advanced order so I can put the money aside for a few weeks so not having to worry about paying it at the moment.
Couldn't get the auto delivery option though which is fine as not such a fan of the other set but ended up having to head out to a payphone to call as the website has been playing up and saying it was sold out when it was on advanced order.
If anyone else wants it but is strapped for cash getting the advance order might be the way to go

I'm so tempted to go out and buy some, but I think 9 new polishes this week is enough!

Now that does sound nice! I've got a very pale grey from Nails Inc, I'll have to give it a try with the Indian Ocean. Thanks
Very prettry shade, I'm happy!
Will have photos up soon!
Will try and get a pic tomorrow!
What's the best nude for a very pale English rose type? I've been searching for a nice one. Closest I've come is Accessorize 'Ivory' but it's too pink
Can't wait to see pictures of these, they both sound fab!

Love her muchly. Can't wait to try them!
It looks great - the blog and the nail polish!
I'm definitely going to give Indian Ocean a go over the lilac, it really brings out the colour.
Thank you very much
Definitely try it, it worked so well! I don't think my iPhone truly captured how pretty it is
I tried it this weekend and it was fab!
I have dug out all my glitters from the back of the cupboard now ready for Christmas!
I'm signing up
